Friday Night Funkin': Vs. Sonic.exe - Cycles [Ft. Vania]

[@BenjuKatchowee]

I'm glad to know Vania wasn't kicked off the team (in favour of the many other composers they had amassed don't be weird) I really like their instrumentation style. This was a really well needed upgrade the vocals and the playable melodies needed though.

[@buppyboi7469]

Wait why would Vania be kicked off? Did something happen?

[@BenjuKatchowee]

@@buppyboi7469 no, I just kinda thought that might have been a possibility because they already had so many composers working on this update

Execution was cool and all, but this really brings a whole new level of terrifying despair.... The voice sounds more threatening, the design is more detailed and creepier, and that echo effect for Bf is the cherry on top! Well done! :D

I actually prefer the older sprites but everything else I agree with cycles is my favourite song in the update because it's genuinely creepy and it just sounds super cool

[@zotlain9356]

that's because they're rapping on green hill which bf's voice echoes

cycles me beloved the tone of the instrumental depressing yet familiar and the vocals amazing aswell, feels so much more demented but enjoyable this is overall a amazing put together song

[@CyanideBlitz]

Just now commenting after a whole year, this was a MUCH needed upgrade for Execution. Cycles is just Execution but every problem with it such as the overabundance of motifs and the edited Tricky vocals. Despite this song being nearly two years old, it still holds up to the insane amount of quality of what FNF music is currently today. Bravo, UpTaunt & Vania. Bravo.

[@TheGameDestroyer-bn4ff]

Hi! Really late to the party! I really like how Lord X is portrayed here! He's just be having fun with the situation and not really taking it seriously in the slightest. He doesn't need to. In his world, he's in control. No need for climactic songs or anything like that. Just a short rap he can jam to! The goofy sprites just make him feel playful and the way he makes his world look is just unnerving...especially with the lifelike plants. This song isn't a lot compared to the others, but Lord X is just here to have fun. Not make some grand show.

[@bettyscoke3]

This song reminds me of aphex twin's flim. Cycles and Flim are both songs with echo added to the instrumentals, and a fast pace, but cycles uses these harsh, but not too harsh vocals to install a sense of fear. Flim on the other hand, brings a calm sense of recollection of memories gone by. But props to the composer here by making it feel like you're listening to your nightmares given form, as if they're about to strike back at any moment.

Cycles (with lyrics): (Hehehaha…) As a scourge takes hold of your life Limb from limb I’ll bring you hellish strife! What a complete loss of hope Dangling a deceiving saving rope Welcome Back! To this plain A withered hellscape But have you yet to find, there’s no escape So just except your fate, and do not delegate I have been here abating my time, yet it’s always too late… Terror and distress Blight that disgusts I will grind you down to mush Lost inside my box as you fall down to the abyss You are simply a pawn in my game of chess Still the best You will never be able to escape the CYCLE of life and death! Let’s play a brand new game of fun As it’s just boring if you cannot run Do you not see the show has already begun Now as you soon complete the cycle of cruelty over and over again, as the world has spun, your time is now done… (1:45) *AS THIS GAME COMES TO A CLOSE, SAY YOUR LAST “GOOD BYE!”* *YOUR CHANCES OF SUR~VIVAL ARE CUT SHORT AS YOU EMBRACE YOUR UNDEFINED DEMISE!* I'LL TAKE YOUR EYES! OH! WHY NOT STAY HERE A LITTLE WHILE? But now a scourge has drained you of your life Dead in seconds within pain, agony, and strife! Destiny will not save you here Now as I take all whom are dear… (Hehehahaha…)
